Bleepbit #1 Posted December 27, 2020 Finally my tiny tribute to Phoenix! Download it in various format from here: https://www.bleepbit.com/2020/12/27/phoenix-tribute-for-ti-99-4a-extended-basic-basic-compiler/ Bye 17 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sometimes99er #2 Posted December 27, 2020 Very high graphics quality - as usual. Well executed. Very cute. Love it. The alien bomb always appears just on top of you - even if there's no alien there !? One strategy then, is to move to one side for a while and then to the other. I think it would be much more challenging if the bomb was somewhat randomly off from right over spaceship. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bleepbit #3 Posted December 27, 2020 Thank you! I chose this solution to prevent the player from sitting still waiting for the aliens 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omega-TI #4 Posted December 27, 2020 Bummer, I have to go to work now, so I'll have to play later. Looks good so far though! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bleepbit #6 Posted December 27, 2020 It's just a tribute not a real porting, but I tried to do something that looked like it in every stage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retrospect #8 Posted December 27, 2020 This is a fantastic game, Bleepbit! I played it this morning and enjoyed it. Are there sprites involved or is it all character graphics? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bleepbit #9 Posted December 27, 2020 14 minutes ago, Retrospect said: Are there sprites involved or is it all character graphics? Thanks! It's a mix: - stages 1, 2 and 5 the aliens are chars, the player starship is a sprite (to have 2 colors) and the bullets are allways sprite but moved like chars to intercept the aliens - stages 3 and 4 only sprites 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
